Hello from Schertz TX!
My pool was installed in November, 2014. I have barely swum in it yet, but am looking forward to it.
I live in the area of TX that had the terrible rains a few weeks ago. After the rain (and some draining), there was the slightest amount of green algae on the sides of the pool. I would brush it once a day and that took care of it. I was going to my local pool store for help and they analyzed my water and decided I needed more than $200 in products. I wasn't interested in that, so I started Googling for some help. I found TFP and that looked more like the type of process I had in mind for taking care of my pool.
I purchased the TF100 test kit and just ran through everything after being away from home for 4 days. The pool is clear and clean.
FC - 4.5
CC - 0.5
PH - 7.5
TA - 80
CH 100
CYA - 70 or 80 (The test from the pool store last week was 80)
These figures don't really match up with the numbers that you're expounding to be ideal, so I need to know what to do now.
Thanks everyone! :grin:
